Johari Window reflection

--Original published at Loretta Gabrielle

Other than asking other people to help contribute to my assignment I enjoyed it. It wasn’t that I didn’t want their opinion, I found that part helpful, but I was reliant on them to complete the 5 second task in order for me to turn in the assignment. I didn’t mind the actual selecting of character traits/ self-descriptions because I find myself aware of my flaws and strengths along with what I have and who I want to become. Sometimes that can be mashed together as who I am and who I want to become are not aligned yet. Due to this, I find myself very critical and strive for my version of perfection in order to get where I want to be. (I hope that makes sense)

My description was very similar to what other people selected. For myself I selected that I was: independent, knowledgeable, spontaneous, sympathetic, and witty. The only other character trait no one picked was that I was confident. I can understand that their definition and my definition with confident may be different. My confidence is knowing my worth and not settling for less. I can see them and others viewing my personality as saying I am not confident as I am veery harsh on myself and criticize everything I do. Based off of my responses which people selected to describe me was interesting to see who picked what. The other traits people picked which I did not were: wise, warm, tense, self-conscious, self-assertive, searching, reflective, powerful, organized, observant, modest, mature, loving, kind, introverted, intelligent, idealistic, friendly, energetic, dignified, dependable, caring, brave, bold, adaptable, accepting, and able. The ones which were picked the most were powerful, intelligent, caring, brave, independent, and bold. I don’t think this measures personality as most of these character traits are not negative. They are also not anonymous and because I can see who said what, whoever is writing this about the person may not be truthful since their name is attached to it. I think from the response not enough people think I am witty so there is a disappointment there. I also believe this is a tool to make you feel better about yourself rather than helping you overcome the areas which you have flaws in. It can measure the good parts of mine and others personality accurately but it doesn’t account for the negative components. It just takes part of a person’s personality not the whole picture. I learned from this process that it is beneficial to ask people who think you are the coolest person every, I have limited friends in who I want to answer this too, I am critical of myself but I am aware of that, but most of these factors I was aware of. It was nice to have validation of the good components of my personality but it is not real and I feel as though this was just meant to make you feel good rather to make you become better.

I initially didn’t think I was going to like this activity, just because I don’t like talking about myself very much. It took some time to decide on traits for myself, as I kept catching myself between traits that describe me and traits I wish I possessed. The process was pretty interesting and fun when I was able to see what others think of first when they think of me. My favorite part of this process was seeing the different adjectives that different people chose, because I know it’s a result of how I behave differently depending on who I am with. Many of my friends described me as being organized because they’ve only been exposed to the aspect of my life I actually do keep organized (my planner of schedules and assignments). When my brother saw that people were describing me as an organized person, he literally laughed out loud. He has lived with me and my messy room for nineteen years now, so “organized” was one of the last adjectives he would choose to describe me.

My self-description was almost spot on compared to the traits that others selected. Out of the six adjectives I chose for myself, five were also known to the other people participating. The only trait I apparently hide from other people is my self-consciousness. It’s understandable that this trait is not known to others because being self-conscious is more of an internal hurdle.

I think this is a relatively valid measure. My friends and family members who participated had a pretty broad list of adjectives to choose from. Although most people involved in my case provided their names, all participants had the option of remaining anonymous when their responses were submitted. Also, since many of the adjectives have similar meanings, it forced people to really think of the most accurate description which increased validity.

I learned that most people think I am trustworthy, which means a lot. That’s always something I’ve strived to be, especially since I prefer to listen and let others vent in confidence to me. It definitely means a lot that the people I care about have so much trust in me, and I plan to remain this person they can confide in. I also learned that many people think I am intelligent, which was surprising. I am not especially confident in my intellectual ability, and almost always defer to others for their opinions or thoughts because I believe they know more than me or know what’s best. The takeaway from this is perhaps that I should try to have more confidence in my own knowledge and learn to trust myself more. If other people see these traits, they are likely there somewhere and I need to dedicate more attention to bringing them out.

Chapter 12 First Impression Prompts – Social

Hand writing on a notebook

Here are the two prompts for this week. Regardless of which prompt you choose, please use the tag “Social.”

Option 1:

The Implicit Association Test (which can be accessed through this link) is a tool to identify biases which may be outside your conscious awareness. The results of this test cannot determine whether or not you are racist, sexist, homophobic, etc., but they are useful to help you understand yourself and how you interact with others. For this post, you must take two separate IAT tests from the link above. You do not need to share your results if you don’t want to, but you need to talk about the experience of taking the test and getting the results, comment on whether or not the results were surprising, and discuss how this test can be useful for college students or your future career.

Option 2:

Would you enjoy a task more if I gave you $1 to do it or $20 to do it? Many of you will probably say you’d rather have the $20, but research suggests you will probably enjoy it more if I only give you a single dollar. Watch this footage to see:

Describe a time in your life when you think you experienced a change in beliefs due to cognitive dissonance, and argue whether you think this is a good thing we should promote and utilize or a bad thing we should try to avoid.

I look forward to seeing what you write!

Chapter 13 First Impression

--Original published at Loretta Gabrielle

The first test wasn’t something I disagreed with but didn’t full agree on. On paper I am considered a Introvert as I would rather be alone to “recharge” than hanging out with friends. What I mean be alone, is I like to be left alone but with people around me. My roommate and I were similar in this way where we liked to watch separate Netflix shows but be together. When I was in Italy, we would video chat and not always talk to each other but be in each other’s presence. I got scored as a INFJ and it suggested the career or Social Work but when I took this test in my business class the outcome was different. Most of my teacher’s in business know me as aggressive when defending a topic in business similarly to a business critic. I have had a professor have me act like I was one so I could rip apart their point. The test viewed me as calm, cool, and collected in a way where, when it comes to my career in primarily business, I am more aggressive and focused. Social work and business are similar in many ways but are different. In social work we are come openly communicative and understanding so my responses normally reflect that where in business discussions and comments from some classmates can lack empathy. The test in general is kind of humors as I am seen as an introvert but will stop strangers to go halfway across the world to a different country with me.
My second personality test was ENFJ. Demonstrates leadership but taking on problems which are not your own which I tend to do. I prioritize the wrong problem at hand which can cause issues for the other obstacles which are more important.

The third test says I am an extrovert who is mostly emotionally stable, agreeable, organizes,  conscious of others, and open/ non traditional. From this, my blog post would probably state I am not emotionally stable at all. Emotionally unstable people are hilarious! I thought I had a future career but I guess not anymore. I find it funny that it says I am agreeable because I often bring up politics at parties (to weed out the racists) and this is just a set up for arguing when you go to Elizabethtown where most people are from Pennsylvania. I am mildly organized, my clothes are normally always clean but they are never fully put away neatly in drawers.

The color quiz is accurate which is weird as it is based off of colors. It says I need excitement and ready for adventure which is always the case (anyone want to go to Thailand?). Maybe in the moment I feel isolated as my main stress source but in all honesty most of my stress comes from this class and hoping to achieve my expectations. Which leads to my problem of fearing I won’t achieve the things I want. From this I search for meaning and become involved in everything which end up being pointless and I am pretty sure this test just exposed me. I do fear I won’t achieve what I want from my career and so I do as much as I can in order to ensure success in the future which seems excessive but I also have a set goal.

In all honesty, although it was the least credible I liked the color test the most. I would probably say this is similar to horoscopes. There is no evidence it works but it helps describe a moment you are feeling in time. It is able to take what you want to say from a recent experience and use that which validates your thoughts. The tests 1-3 all were pretty similar and I would rank the credibility in the order of the tests. First being the most credible and the fourth being the least credible.

Chapter 13 First Impression

--Original published at KatieMillerPSY105

I was very excited to see that this chapter would be about personality. I love taking the personality quizzes to see what the results are. I know that some of them may not be the most accurate tests, but I do enjoy taking them!

After getting the results from the tests, I saw that I had the same letter combination from the humanmetrics test and the second personality test on the list. The results I received were ENFJ. The “E” stands for extrovert and was said to be 59% of me while the “N” was intuitive with 6% of my personality. The final two letters “F” and “J” stand for feeling (25%) and judging (22%) respectively. The first test told me I have a preference of extroversion over introversion, intuition over sensing, feeling over thinking, and judging over perceiving. Before this test, I would have thought I was more of a thinker than a feeler because I tend to over analyze every situation I am put in. It was interesting to see this result in both of the tests. The second test describes the ENFJ type as “pedagogue” and that they are outstanding leaders of groups and can be aggressive at helping others be the best they can be. I thought that was interesting because I do always like to be there for others and help them in whatever way they need, but I never would have though to use the word aggressive to describe my desire to help others. The third test told me I was an extrovert as well in factor one. In factor two, it gave me the result of emotional stability. Factor three told me I was agreeable, which their definition is someone who is friendly and optimistic. The fourth factor told me I was conscientious, which is someone who is careful and diligent. Finally, the fifth factor told me I had intellect/imagination meaning that I tended to be more traditional and conventional. The final test, which was the color test gave me answers that were closely related to the answers from the previous tests. Overall, I thought that all of these tests gave me very similar results even if they differed slightly from what I originally thought.

I believe that the first two tests were pretty accurate, and I feel like they could be credible because I had taken similar tests in my high school psychology class. The third test may be less credible than the first two, however, it did go through five different factors so it may still have some credibility/accuracy to it. The color test was the one that I thought may not have been that credible since it got so many results from just a quick click of colors that we were shown. All of these tests were very enjoyable to go through and were interesting to see the results that came up.

 

 

Chapter 13: First Impression

--Original published at Kirsten's Kreations

When going through each test, it was interesting to see how I think about myself. The one I didn’t like to take was the color test. I don’t understand the purpose of the color test because how much can people understand about themselves from color? However the results for all of them were interesting. I got two different results from the tests that gave answers of ISFJ and ISTJ. It is interesting to see how I still test as introverted, sensing, and Judging but the feelings and thinking differed. I believe this is due to the nature of the questions. The questions on the two tests were worded differently which made me think about them differently than I probably normally would. After reading the results from the Big Five Personality and the Color Quiz, I am not entirely sure what to make of them. The big five personality results give very tiny descriptions and didn’t give me much room as to what I should think about myself based on them. The color quiz, as stated before, didn’t seem to have a purpose. As I was taking the quiz I didn’t feel indifferently about each color except for one and that’s because it was my favorite color. The results also feel like they don’t reflect me as a person either. For the most part they feel as though they are the opposite of who I am and they were slightly insult as to what the results had to say.

Spotlight Post #2

--Original published at Jenna'sPSY105blog

For my second spotlight post, I chose prompt #2 about stress management. As a college student, as well as an athlete, stress is something I struggle with and I feel that it is important to find ways to manage your stress levels in order to achieve peak performance and to maintain your sanity. I will be discussing ways that different audiences can cope with stressful situations based off of three articles I found.

My first audience is college students. Dear college students, you NEED to sleep. Most college students are so overwhelmed with the amount of school work they have and how little time they have to do it, so they stay up all night working on assignments and sleep a few hours each night during the week and then try to catch up on sleep on the weekends. That is a very unhealthy lifestyle to live all week long every week for an entire school year. As we learned in class, catching up on sleep is simply that-catching up. By the time you’re finally caught up, it’s Monday and you have to start the cycle all over again. You sendup essentially inducing “jet lag” when doing this. Nobody is able to do their best work when they are constantly sleep deprived. Sleep more during the night so that you can feel refreshed when taking on school responsibilities. Another tip is to practice some relaxation techniques when you feel overwhelmed. Whether it be mediation, slowly taking deep breaths and counting to ten, playing with a stress ball, anything that can take your mind off of things and calm you down is beneficial to your overall mental health. Lastly, talk to somebody. Ranting to your roommate or friends or calling your parents and just talk about your problems can be a very good outlet for frustration and make a world of difference. Honestly, talking things through with people can help you figure things out for yourself and how you can take on all of your stress, and if not, most likely your parents or friends can help you come up with a solution or game plan to get through your struggles.

My next audience is athletes. First of all, keeping a positive attitude is key. Sometimes you can be so stressed out from practicing every single day and worrying about winning all the time, but staying positive puts you a completely different head space- and a healthy one! If you have a bad performance or you feel you didn’t do as well as you know you could have, don’t let it discourage you, let it drive you to do better next time. Not only will it be a learning experience, but it will also alleviate so much stress. Another tip is to have time to yourself to have fun. Sports can be very demanding and you can often times feel like your whole life revolves around the sport you play. When you do have free time, use it. Not only will it be a way to get your mind off of your stress, but you can do things that are still keeping you active which may slightly benefit your performance your sport anyway. You can go on a run, lift weights, go hiking, do yoga, or play some video games. Whatever helps you to destress and enjoy yourself will help you in the long run. Lastly, have a strong support system. Your friends, family, trainers, and especially your coach all want to see you succeed as much as possible. They can help you find ways to deal with your stressors, as well as encourage you to push through the hard times. They can also help you remain positive and change your perspective. Surrounding yourself with people who only have your well-being in mind is essential when in stressful situations.

Lastly, I would like to address the parents of teenagers. The teenage years can be the most stressful phase of children growing up that parents have to go through. It can be a very difficult time for teenagers, but parents are just as stressed out as their children, so I would like to give advice for parents that can help their teens and, in turn, alleviate some of their own stress as well. For starters, help your child learn that some things are outside their control. Learning not to stress about the little things will help them worry less and have a clearer mind. Teens deal with a lot of drama, so teach them to stay out of it and show them that the drama is pointless, a waste of time, and won’t matter in the long run. Secondly, limit your teen’s social media use. Kids are constantly glued to their phones, but social media has the potential to completely ruin their self confidence. Nowadays it’s all about editing and posting the most perfect pictures, getting the most likes on a post, having the most followers, and constantly beating themselves down when they don’t achieve those things as well as comparing themselves to others. This can be very detrimental to their mental health and can cause a lot of stress in the household when the parents have to deal with their child going through that. Lastly, come up with some stress relieving distractions for your child. Whether it be hanging out with friends, going on a drive (if they have their license), playing basketball outside, playing an instrument, drawing, shopping, getting ice cream, anything that can be fun and get their mind off of the stress can be so beneficial for your teen.

The three articles I found wrote about these tips more in depth and provided many more ideas to cope with stress. I feel that these tips are very helpful for people dealing with high levels of stress and feel they can’t find any solutions. I definitely plan on keeping some of these tips in mind following my return to college this semester, and hopefully they can help other people too!

For this post, I chose to do option one on memory.

10 Study Methods for College-Bound Teens:

This article is an interesting read. As a college student myself, I found myself agreeing to a lot of the tips it the article provides. This article included ten tips; ask for help, study outside of class, use your peers, get organized, sleep, eliminate distractions, maintain health, track habits, stop procrastinating, and work on soft skills. All of these tips are highly important to follow. For the sleep and health, if someone isn’t maintain a good sleep schedule or isn’t in good health it can make the brain seem foggy and hard to focus because the body is going into a chemical imbalance and is trying to correct itself. During this time your brain is more focused on healing yourself rather than being able to store the information you are learning making it more difficult to remember later. Asking questions and using your peers is a good way to understand what you don’t know. When we are learning new things our brain goes through a process of encoding. If we learn something that seems confusing and we don’t ask questions, instead of encoding and storing the correct information for later use our mind will process the wrong information. If questions are asked to a teacher or a peer gives a better explanation, then we can correct the information being encoded before it is too late. Getting organized, not procrastinating, and eliminating distractions are important because they can help with recall, retrieval, and storage. Being organized with a planner is a good way to help keep track of what needs to be done because college has a lot of assignments and a planner is a good way to help someone recall what those assignments are and for what class. Stopping procrastination and eliminating distractions is extremely helpful because procrastination can hinder your brains ability to store the information. The longer you wait to study the less likely you will have time to process what you just learn causing problems to recall that information. Distractions can also affect the storage and recall in the same way because they just create their own form of procrastination by tearing your mind away from your current situation.

Top 10 High School Study Tips

The ten tips are: be engaged, stay up to date with homework, organize, have a routine, have objectives, have a study station, stay away from electronics if possible, manage stress, take advantage of technology. In all honesty, I feel this is a better article for college students than for high school students but it can work for high school students too. Being engaged and staying up is great because if you aren’t then your mind can learn the wrong information and not properly encode it. Plus, if you are confused it can be easier to ask the teacher questions. Being organized and having a routine is very important for any student. A routine and being organized is important because your mind can use chunking to encode the information you are learning rather than taking time out of your day and disrupting your memory process by having to recall what you need to do for the day. Staying away from electronics and taking advantage of technology seems to be redundant, but if you put your phone on silent and use your laptop to take notes or research the topics being learned then your brain will have less of a distraction making it easier to encode the new information for later.

10 Good Study Habits to Help Your Child Succeed in the New School Year

These ten study habits for parents to help their children are: get organized, know the expectations, develop a study plan, think positively, create a study group, practice active listening, review test-taking strategies, read actively, and look into the future. It is great for parents to help their children out because the more stress a student as then the harder can get for their brain to focus on processing the information and storing it because it is more focused on trying to come up with ways on how to fix the other situations. Developing a study plan is great because the student and the parent can come up with different ways that it makes it easier for the student to learn the new information. Getting organized and knowing the expectations are good to help keep the student on track of what they need to do rather than forcing them to remember it all themselves and delaying the process of them encoding and storing the new information. Practice active listening, review test-taking strategies, and read actively are all good because it falls under the testing effect. The testing effect is being able to retrieve information in different forms rather than memorizing it by rereading.

--Original published at KatieMillerPSY105

We have covered, in lecture, the best ways to study in order to retain information to do well on tests, homework, other school work, etcetera. I wanted to take a look at what some articles are claiming to be the best studying methods and see how closely it matches with what we had learned. I found three different articles from sources that discussed methods for college students, middle school to high school students, and even parents.

The first article I did research on is called “How to Study: Studying Tips for College Students” by Column Five Media. This article describes some distractions students may face when they are taking notes. Even though a computer made it easier to take notes, this article found that there were many distractions such as “25% playing games, 43% surfed internet, 68% used instant messaging, and 81% checked emails” (paragraph 3). The article also showed some of the ways they thought college students should be studying. They say to set goals for your study time in order to avoid cramming (paragraph 4). We learned that distributed practice is better for memory so that you can have the information in your long-term memory instead of not being able to recall what you crammed in before the exam. Some other techniques they showed were reading notes, rewriting them, review highlighted information, using flashcards, and make up examples (paragraph 4). The highlighted information and flashcards would be considered organized materials, which we know from lecture, will be effortful encoding. Also, making up examples is similar to elaboration where we can make up our own examples to make it more relevant to us. Instead of just reading over class notes, one techinique would be to organize the written notes into questions by making headers. Overall, I thought that this article provided some realistic advice with some things that were similar to what we learned in our lecture.

The next article I found is one that gave advice for the high school age students called “Top 10 Study Skills for High School Students” on the Campus Explorer website. This article gave ten different pieces of advice for ways to study. These tips include manage time wisely, organize, and make study groups. We covered all of these methods in our lecture for studying and how they can improve our memory. Some other pieces of advice were to ask questions, study outside, sleep, and hone those writing skills. The tip to studying outside would be to actually try to study in an environment similar to where you will be taking the exam. This will help because you could give you retrieval clues if you are stuck. The other tips they gave could be useful, but were not as important as what some of the others were. This article can show the difference in advice for studying between college aged students and high school aged students.

The final article I found is “Ten ways to Help Your Child Succeed in Elementary School” found on the KidsHealth website. This article was similar to the high school article since both gave ten tips for studying; however, this article gave ten tips on how to help prepare your children for school. One tip that I found to be very helpful was teach organizational skills. This is a great tip because the parents could help their kids learn ways to encode information they need. This will help them in the long run if they can develop this organization skill early on. Some other tips included teach study skills, getting involved, and sending them to school ready to learn. It is important for parents to help their kids develop study skills while they are young because this could cause them to improve their long-term memory. I believe some “better” advice to give to parents for studying would be making sure they are spreading out their time for studying and coming up with ways for their kids to better understand the material they are learning. These two pieces of advice gives kids the best methods for effortful encoding. This article had some good and helpful tips for parents with their younger children, but there are some other things that parents could be doing to help their children learn the best ways to study.

All in all, these articles gave some good tips for all ages. Other than a few areas that suggested techniques that may not be as effective as the methods we learned in class, it was fairly close to some of the things we learned in our lectures.

Spotlight Post 2

--Original published at Loretta Gabrielle

For the second spotlight blog, I picked the second option revolving around stress. Stress management is something I struggle with, as discussed in the blog posts. After learning about stress I evaluated three online resources for stress management. As suggested I am looking at three different target audiences of college students, athletes, and parents.

College Student

Stress itself is when the body reacts to a new change and pressure. In the first article, discussed tips and reasoning for stress in college and how to survive it. Acute stress is the reaction of possible challenges. An example can be, receiving a grade back from a class, a test, or traveling somewhere new. Most of these episodes do not last long and can be both negative and positive. Most college students face episodic acute stress which is acute stress more often. Normally college students face these challenges often in school as there are several different tasks to overcome with classes, living away from home, additional responsibility, and the financial deficit loans bring. Something many students struggle with is test anxiety and stress. The tips which the article provided were studying efficiently and effectively, use practice tests, study to learn not to pass, tricks such as a stress ball or ways to calm and center you, eating well which can include reducing coffee as it may contribute to anxiety and stress, rest, realizing tension through exercising, and being punctual the day of the test. Other additional tips the article provided on reducing stress for college students was thinking positive which can be used as positive affirmations. In other words, rather than saying ‘I can’t do this’ you change it to ‘I can do this’ which can bring a positive outcome. Similarly to this meditation and relaxation strategies benefit in reducing stress. Using the resources many colleges provide such as tutoring and talking to someone which can be a friend or school counselor. Lastly, being able to have an outlet from your stress whether that is a club, sport, or staying inside and relaxing, whatever creates less stress will benefit a college student as a whole.

Parent

The second article I found related to stress parents face and the buildup tension. The article described this as their body using fight or flight mode which we learned in class. The article discussed constant tension which is also referred to as chronic tension. A way to minimize this is through practicing relaxation rather being in constant tension form fight or flight. The article discussed progressive relaxation through one’s whole body and working on releasing the tension through physical activity. A way which the article described was yoga and relaxing one’s muscles through untensing each body part.  Another suggestion was using deep breathing as it the article suggests it causes more energy to be produced throughout the body. This can also be seen as another form of meditation. Taking a mental vacation can help by thinking of a relaxing place from a memory such as a beach, the sun, baked cookies, and anything to take you away from the moment which is causing stress. The article later suggested hobbies as a way to relax and provide relief.

Athlete 

The article regarding athletes and stress management provided what the difference between an athlete with a large stress load and one without. An athlete with a lot of stress will constantly get injured, lack a competitive edge, and have trouble sleeping. Although most of the information when talking about stress relates to the negative impact, with athletes it could also have a positive outlook. Say an athlete was in a critical part of the game and they have three people from the other team coming at them, evidently causing stress. Rather than shutting down and freezing, the stress and adrenaline boost from the release of the stress hormone in our body, can work in using our fight-or-flight response. In any case, this can happen regardless of being an athlete or not. To use the stress one is enduring and fighting through the challenge. The negative impact from athletes enduring stress, is the continuation after the game ends. For managing stress when training is using breaks rather than training harder. When it revolves stress around preforming, using good scores and success in playing will increase the athletes confidence until the stress resides. With the emotional stress components which can become ignored with athletes, it is important to recognize whether the training is helpful or harmful. If the component of the sport are causing more pain than taking away it is negatively impacting the person. Exercise is an important way to reduce stress but too much can have a negative effect. Lastly, addressing proper eating and sleeping schedules will help manage the stress level in an athlete.

All three articles addressed the negative impacts of stress learned in class along with similarly healthy ways to improve overall stress levels for college students, parents, and athletes.
